As a kid, I remember how amazed I was when I first discovered that the magnificent tree they put up each Christmas in dt Chicago wasn't really a huge tree, but rather lots & lots of little trees put together, like branches, to form the "masterpiece." That memory came to mind when I saw the cute little tree stamp in LOL, and I thought I'd give it a try. It's FUN! It's EASY! And it makes a very elegant "showcase" tree. For detailed instructions with a finished sample, see the card titled "tiny trees make it BIG" submitted today.
The skyline was sponged in Ballet Blue with the All Night Media "Cityscape" template, and I drew the ladder by hand. Snow is Tulip Puffy Paint, and I aded some glitter to make it glisten (but the scanner didn't pick it up). I cut a slit in the truck bed to insert some trees, and mounted the fallen trees (by the ladder) with dimensionals.

That is such a great card. That took alot of creativity to do. I don't have that set but a friend does. I'm going to have to borrow and play with it. Thanks for posting it. I love it!
